Thats a very good design. If it may not be much pratical realtime use, it certainly creates some wacky patterns - especially when you select Finchley Central as the central station - looks like a butterfly!
In all seriousness though, I can see this having some beneficial use but not so much for passengers planning their journeys, but for reseachers and transport planners, using a graphical (and hence easier to identify) representation of journey times - and the map has potential to simulate/model what happens say if you shut down certain parts of the network, how does that increase average journey times - or what happens when if you open up a new line through Central London etc...
I think its a good job.

Yeah, that's pretty cool. Timings need some work, though.

Those are, what I would call, Walt Disney times  ;D |

Did I hear a committed employee suggesting that a train could actually be DELAYED (shock!) on the tube network? :-D

But there are those (including my fellow Admins probably) who would agree that I should be committed |

[But there are those (including my fellow Admins probably) who would agree that I should be committed I'm sure about that! I was only kidding mate. I was teasing a fellow T/Op with the same words yesterday after he complained to me about a changeover in his duty that was a bit narrowly calculated. |
